Default Downpipe Dilemma

Guys i am about to buy a decat down pipe for MY01 WRX in prep for an upcoming map.

I cannot tell if i need a 2 1/2" or a 3" pipe. There has been no modification from standard exhaust system except for a cobrasort backbox (already on when i bought it)

Question is what the bloody hell do i buy? and what is the standard pipework size?

Cheers

Actually just tell the supplier it's to mate with std mid pipe and you should be OK.

Then the WRX is likely 2 1/2 " ??

Tell he supplier the car and they should be able to supply the right diameter pipe.
